It is expected to acquire a complex of physical knowledge about the structure of the earth's atmosphere, the key photochemical and dynamic processes that determine it. On the basis of modern theoretical studies and observations, an idea is given about the factors affecting the distribution of atmospheric ozone, in particular, the importance of circulation and large-scale wave processes. The principles of operation of modern terrestrial and satellite observation instruments for determining the total content of ozone, vertical profiles, and finding local concentrations are considered. The spatio-temporal heterogeneity of ozone distribution is analyzed, the causes and characteristics of the ozone hole are investigated.
